chusrtts who is suing her husband for support
admits that hc has paid bills for her in two years
amounting 10 $1,000, but says She wants diamonds,
books an encyclopedia, and many other things

Iongings for what is true sometimes as we'll as
for what Is beautiful always and stamps her
as n person who aspircs.

Andy Fay the sweet poet Of Onoudasa County,
has teen writing u noble quatran which he
dclicatos TO Henry George. Here it IS:
N0u lradr a horse to water
